The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released a new quarterly energy security dataset today to increase transparency. This tool tracks global strategic petroleum reserves and shipping chokepoint flows for oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Brent crude prices currently trade near $107 per barrel. The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz removes millions of barrels of oil from the market daily.
Markets remain volatile amid a fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire and President Trump’s high-stakes talks in China. This dataset provides timely context on supply losses beyond standard weekly inventory reports. These disruptions have kept oil prices elevated for weeks.
